You're getting married in Banff and the leaves are showing off all of their beauty and rich colors. It's my favorite time of year, there is something about fall; the weather, the smells, the foods, and the colors are all so marvellous it's hard for anyone not to like fall. When you get a chance to spend fall in Banff and the Rocky mountains it brings anyone's love of the season up another ten notches because the mountains have a way of showing off in the most spectacular manner.

Surprise Corner
I'm not sure if "surprise corner" is the official name but it's what this little location in Banff is called by everyone because you turn the corner and suddenly get this amazing view of the majestic Banff Springs Hotel against the backdrop of Sulphur Mountain and the beauty of the Bow Riveer as it cascades down into the Bow Falls. It's a fabulous location for iconic wedding photos in Banff.
The Fairmont
The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel is a majestic castle in the Rockies. If you're getting married at the Fairmont you'll be able to take photos inside the beautiful castle with it's ornate decor and luxurious rooms but the grounds around the Fairmont are also beautiful and a great Banff wedding photo location.
